    2 worst issues at Manly today - outside Defence

    The attempt to shift the ball and play sideways before earning the right and firstly winning some momentum through the middle. Yes there were arguably without the 3 best front rowers in Paseka, Aloiai and Jake.....but still need to go forward to give your back's space Even last night the 1st...

    Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle

    Another thing was errors - the clunky attack was frustrating to watch and the sideways "go to" shift, is becoming like an attempted escape when the opposition is getting on top physically, rather than contest with grit, it's the desperation risk plays as if chasing points with 1 minute to go I...

    Storm set the tone - thru Manly's soft middle

    The Manly middle is near the worst defensively in the NRL and take Jake out - it is.... So slow to get up and the dummy half is already in motion as they struggle to get onside....and when there is an odd decent tackle and win contact, still allow the attacker to win the ruck and play it fast...

    Game Day: Manly V Dragons [Round 7, 2025]

    Destroyed in the middle Storm exploited it A poor Cronulla did again last week And St G who have played crap have abused the middle Lucky only 8 - 0

    Croker

    Times are tough when the Batman lights beam down in the shape of Croker Tough and whole hearted, would be lucky to get a gig at many other NRL teams as the number 1 hooker and is far from an impact player Would give him time in NSW cup as a lock and seen if he could add value as a half...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Another problem that looks bleak I watch a fair bit of footy every weekend outside of Manly games Almost every team, including the worst teams, seem to have some new bloods coming through that have much potential....than I look at Manly and apart from Large and Walsh who are a fair way from top...

    NSW Cup 2025

    Always said the Attitude at reserves Manly/Blacktown is horrible This type of inconsistency is alarming Pile on Massive points last week, today let in 50s ? Something up and it's beyond just players, how can this side which is not terrible on paper, put in these tripe performances, I mean arnt...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    Looking at "value" signings... Only a lightweight but I like the energy of Plath from Dolphins as a lock Duncan Tallis from Bunnies only young but has ability.....the Knight backrower Kai pearce would be ideal left edge and the backrower we up against this weekend Tieg Wilton is a real goer too

    Calls For An Indigenous Australian International Team

    What a ridiculous idea We are one, we are many they said ?? Then we "suddenly"want to play test matches against each other ?? In Rugby League history there have been greats like Beetson, Inglis proudly wearing the green and gold, so what's the big sudden movement. If this was to go ahead, would...

    Tommy Talau

    I honestly don't know what has happened to Jakes defence....is he concentrating so hard prematurely he needs to "Get off Jake" that he is not ripping in like Jake of old with those drivining rib rattlers ? This was not "just" the Storm game, but pretty much the entire season. Jake really is a...

    Tommy Talau

    Talau may be a back, but there's a big part of his game that has been missed - Aggression !! Talau runs with extra vigour and though no matai, when he hits often slugs them pretty hard which is better than what our forwards, let alone our backs do ..... apart from Haumole. Look forward to...

    Lack of Mobility in the pack stood out

    100% and you will find Nikora doing exactly the same on Saturday, straight after AFB or another forward blow up the middle

    Joey Walsh

    I think Joey was getting ready to step up for NSW cup last week off the bench, but didn't play Only seen him in 2 games Against NZ scored 3 and done well, but next game marked hard and still decent but contained, think was named on extended bench for NSW cup last weekend ? Watching Large seems...

    Lack of Mobility in the pack stood out

    True story, nikora, Mchuiness and even AFB for a big man will create chaos Saturday.....and the great man Jake was like watching the matrix with those hit ups....Hate to say it but apart from some Haumole charges and the brief impact of Nathan Brown, the pack was like boys vs men and to Top it...

    Lack of Mobility in the pack stood out

    They say you always get something out of a loss, personally I don't find much good out of it, though you can reflect on where the opposition exposed your defence.... Regardless of Anderson scoring 10 tries and Howarth burning Garrick 2nd half, the real leaks started centrally....and who better...

    Onward to Perth – Time to Bounce Back! 🦅

    The disappointing part was, it was a Real test to see where Manly are at and unfortunately...well behind the yardstick Melbourne like most sides and to not handle the key moments after conceding a penalty or error is the main factor to improve on. I stated in another thread about an incident at...
